Miquel 21 Edward Street Cambridge CB1 2LS United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract. In 2012, two articles were published describing new species of the genus Chelotrupes Jekel, 1866 (Cole- optera: Geotrupidae); the fi rst one included fi ve new species and the second a single species. However, the species described in the second article, Chelotrupes annamariae Byk 2012, is identical to Chelotrupes algarvicus Hillert, Král and Schneider 2012 and should be considered a junior synonym: Chelotrupes algarvicus Hillert, Král and Schneider 2012 = Chelotrupes annamariae Byk 2012, syn. nov. Introduction Jekel (1866) fi rst established Chelotrupes as a subgenus of the genus Geotrupes Latreille, 1796 with Scarabaeus momus Olivier, 1789 as the type species. Subsequently, Boucomont (1912) considered Chelotrupes to be a subgenus of Typhaeus Leach, 1815 comprised of two species Typhaeus (Chelotrupes) hiostius (Gené, 1836) from Sardinia and T. (Chelotrupes) momus (Olivier, 1789) from the Iberian Pen- insula. Recently, Dellacasa and Dellacasa (2008) elevated Chelotrupes to genus rank and considered C. matutinalis (Baudi di Selve, 1870), formerly a synonym of C. hiostius (Gené, 1836), to be a valid spe- cies. In 2012, Hillert et al. published a detailed study of the genus Chelotrupes in the Iberian Peninsula in which they described fi ve new species, two from Spain (C. hendrichi and C. kyliesi) and three from Portugal (C. algarvicus, C. brancoi and C. feryi) and re-established C. laevipennis (Mulsant and God- art, 1855) as a valid species. The same year, Byk (2012) published the description of a new species, C. annamariae, from within the known distribution of C. algarvicus. The latter article only considers two species from the Iberian Peninsula, C. momus and the newly described species, and does not refer to the publication by Hillert et al. (2012). From its description, C. annamariae Byk 2012 appeared to be a re-description of C. algarvicus Hillert, Král and Schneider 2012, and this hypothesis is tested below. Material and Methods Specimens Studied. Specimens were fi rst chosen based on their geographical location (holotype, para- type or reported location of individual species in Hillert et al. 2012), and their identity checked based on external characters reported in the same publication. The aedeagus of the following male specimens were studied (all in collection of M. E. Miquel): C. algarvicus: 6 sp., Portugal, Algarve, Sagres, 20.i.2013, leg. O. Boilly, 4 sp., Portugal, Faro, Vila do Bispo env., 10.xii.2012, leg. Ferreira P. C. brancoi: 1 sp.: Portugal, Estremadura, Setubal, N. of Alfarim, Sesimbra env., S. of Lisboa, 06.iii.2010, leg. O.

(2012) was originally received on the 6th of Decem- ber 2011, accepted on the 27th of February 2012 and published on the 15th of August 2012; whereas the article by Byk (2012) was received on the 21st of October 2012 and accepted on the 15th of December 2012. Although, listed as published in November, all but one article in this issue of the Baltic Journal of Coleopterology were accepted on the 15th of December 2012 and consequently, the issue must have been published at the earliest on that date and not in November. In any case, the article by Byk (2012) has been both submitted and published after the publication date of the article by Hillert et al. (2012). Geographical Origins of Type Materials. Holotypes of both species were described from the same locality: Portugal, Lagos, Vila do Bispo. For C. annamariae, a further thirty-fi ve paratypes were also studied, including twenty-fi ve from the type locality (twenty from the same series as the holotype), ten from Sagres (Lagos) and a museum specimen without precise locality (“Lusit.”). The municipality of Sagres is adjacent to the municipality of Vila do Bispo. For C. algarvicus, a further two hundred seventy-six (276) paratypes were studied from localities in the regions of Beja (Valle de Ferro) and Faro (including Carrapateira, Foia, Sierra de Monchique, Sagres and Vila do Bispo). In total, thirty-three paratypes came from Vila do Bispo and one hundred fi fty-one (151) from Sagres. Importantly, the same series of specimens from the type locality (Portugal, Lagos, Vila do Bispo, 7.xii.2006, leg. T. Gazurek) was used in both descriptions: holotype and twenty paratypes of C. anna- mariae and fi ve paratypes of C. algarvicus, discrediting the validity of the former. Figure 1–3.

  • Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae
    Systematic Entomology (2004) 29, 509–523 Phylogenetic analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) based on larvae JOSE´ R. VERDU´ 1 , EDUARDO GALANTE1 , JEAN-PIERRE LUMARET2 andFRANCISCO J. CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade.

  • Reproductive Behaviour and Development of the Dung Beetle Typhaeus Typhoeus (Coleoptera, Geotrupidae)
    REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUNG BEETLE TYPHAEUS TYPHOEUS (COLEOPTERA, GEOTRUPIDAE) by LIJBERTBRUSSAARD Dept. of Animal Ecology and Dept. of Soil Science & Geology, Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands . ABSTRACT This paper is part of a study of the contribution of dung beetles to soil formation in sandy soils. Typhaeus typhoeus (Linnaeus) has been selected because it makes deep burrows and is locally abundant. The beetles are active from autumn until spring, reproduction takes place from February to April. Sex pheromones probably influence pair formation. The sexes co­ operate in excavating a burrow (up to 0.7 m below surface) and in provisioning the burrow with dung as food for the larvae. Co-operation is reset by scraping each other across the thorax or elytra. Dung sausages, appr. 12.5 cm long and 15 mm in diameter, are manufac­ tured above each other. Development is rapid at 13—17°C. The life cycle is accelerated by a cold period in the third larval stage. These requirements are met by soil temperatures up to 15° C in summer and down to 5 °C in winter. The life cycle lasts two years, but longer under certain conditions. Newly hatched beetles make their way to the surface through the soil, but do not follow the old shaft. Adults reproduce only once. Differential rate of com­ pletion of the life cycle and occasional flying probably reduce the risk of local extinction. The study is thought to be relevant for behavioural ecology and soil science. CONTENTS tion of how much dung beetles contribute to Introduction 203 soil formation today.

  • SYNTHESIS and PHYLOGENETIC COMPARATIVE ANALYSES of the CAUSES and CONSEQUENCES of KARYOTYPE EVOLUTION in ARTHROPODS by HEATH B
    SYNTHESIS AND PHYLOGENETIC COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF KARYOTYPE EVOLUTION IN ARTHROPODS by HEATH BLACKMON Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2015 Copyright © by Heath Blackmon 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I owe a great debt of gratitude to my advisor professor Jeffery Demuth. The example that he has set has shaped the type of scientist that I strive to be. Jeff has given me tremendous intelectual freedom to develop my own research interests and has been a source of sage advice both scientific and personal. I also appreciate the guidance, insight, and encouragement of professors Esther Betrán, Paul Chippindale, John Fondon, and Matthew Fujita. I have been fortunate to have an extended group of collaborators including professors Doris Bachtrog, Nate Hardy, Mark Kirkpatrick, Laura Ross, and members of the Tree of Sex Consortium who have provided opportunities and encouragement over the last five years. Three chapters of this dissertation were the result of collaborative work. My collaborators on Chapter 1 were Laura Ross and Doris Bachtrog; both were involved in data collection and writing. My collaborators for Chapters 4 and 5 were Laura Ross (data collection, analysis, and writing) and Nate Hardy (tree inference and writing). I am also grateful for the group of graduate students that have helped me in this phase of my education. I was fortunate to share an office for four years with Eric Watson.
